## What is Tracker Protection?

Trackers follow you everywhere — in apps, browsers, and emails — building profiles that advertisers and data brokers sell, and AI-powered attackers weaponize. Tracker Protection stops them.

HOW IT WORKS
 
Tracker Protection runs at the DNS layer. Every domain your device tries to look up routes through our encrypted DNS resolver. So every time an app or website tries to connect to a known tracker, our technology blocks the connection before the tracker can do anything. No scripts run. No data leaves. No profile gets built.

    — Blocks thousands of tracker domains before they collect your data
    — Encrypts every DNS lookup so your ISP, carrier, and Wi-Fi network can't see what sites and apps you're using
    — Works system-wide: every app, every browser, every email client on your device

FREE
  
    — Default tracker blocking, always on
    — Encrypted DNS for every lookup

PREMIUM

Everything in Free, plus:
    — Activity dashboard: see what was blocked, on which sites
    — Per-vendor controls — Facebook, Google, Amazon, TikTok, Snapchat — choose protection level for each
    — Block email tracking pixels
    — Block fingerprinting scripts
    — Block cryptomining

### 1/5 — Blocks nothing

*2026-07-15*

I purchased this app a long time ago and assumed it would do its job in the background. Looking at the statistics of the app today, it last blocked a tracker in February (it’s now July). I am using the internet daily. Apparently, I am already invincible or the app blocks nothing.

**Developer response:** So sorry to hear the app is not properly displaying the trackers it is blocking! If you can, please reach out to our support team at support@disconnect.me so they can help troubleshoot what is causing this.

### 1/5 — Help

*2026-04-12*

So I purchased a subscription in a desperate attempt to hide myself from whoever has been tracking and attacking my online accounts and it just didn't seem to help so I let the sub. Run out then canceled. Okay, now fast forward to now because that was months ago. 
So I notice an app charges me out of the blue one day I go to subscriptions, and omg guess what I see? A renewed subscription for you guys! Fine I got my money back but it gets weird. The subscription is still showing active and it's been expiring since January 2026. I need you guys to tell me what to do because right now I feel like this situation is hurting more than helping me. Thanks

**Developer response:** So sorry to hear you ran into that, and that's definitely not normal. All subscriptions to our app are handled by the App Store, including cancellations, so please double-check that the subscription is listed as cancelled in your App Store account as we do not want you charged for anything you do not want. If you need any additional help, please reach out to our support team at support@disconnect.me.

Great fit

### 2/5 — Tracking?

*2024-10-06, version 1.2*

Even with ‘rotate’ to refresh, with aggressive settings, there are no trackers reported to be blocked. All this after disabling the Premium VPN.

### 1/5 — App disappears and no support

*2024-09-18*

I want to find this app on my phone. The "D." icon is nowhere to be found. I have tried searching for this app by name: "B" for block; "D" four disconnect; "T" for a tracker; "P" for protection. The app exists on my phone but cannot be found.

there is no way to contact support for this app that is listed in the App Store. Hence, this is extremely negative review from me

I hope the developer sees this negative review and contacts me I still want to solve this problem.

**Developer response:** So sorry to hear this is happening to you, and that is very strange! You can reach out to our support team anytime at support@disconnect.me, and they would be glad to help get to the bottom of what is going on with the app on your phone.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2024-06-12*

Disconnect Team,

I made the mistake of downloading Proxyman to get around CDN Cloudflare censureship of me trying to use pcloud for storage.

It appears that when Proxyman was active the trackers that were normally blocked by disconnect DNS become apparent.

I removed Proxyman as had 521 trackers and google DNS show up. It appears the strict setting of disconnect DNS is doing a lot!!!

### 3/5 — Can’t use many apps with Privacy DNS on

*2024-05-23*

I’m finding more and more apps that will not allow me to have this app on while using. For example: Sephora and Nextdoor are two that won’t allow me to use it unless I have turned Privacy DNS turned off. This is a bummer, but I’m also willing to give up some of my apps if need be. Is there any way to get around the block though?

**Developer response:** Current response: Thank you for sharing what you're seeing with having issues accessing apps. If you are able, please reach out to support@disconnect.me so our support team can investigate the conflicts. 

Original response: So sorry to hear you're running into trouble. If you have not, turning the app's protection off, restarting you phone, then turning the protection back on may help. If you still run into issues, please reach out to our support team at support@disconnect.me so they can help you get back to being fully protected.
